#378 - Breaking the Cycle with Lesa Esparza

Lesa Esparza, wife of comedian Felipe Esparza, joins me for a powerful conversation about childhood trauma, parental abandonment, and healing. She opens up about her abusive mother, her father leaving at age 8, and how reconnecting with her past shaped the strong woman she is today.
